Find a Partner and come along at 11.30 with a plate of finger food to enjoy our Christmas cheer and Annual Awards in a fun informal atmosphere.  We'll then have a relaxed game of about 24 boards.  See you there!!

Congratulations to Bev Daniel and Rhonda Millar (pictured) on their excellent win in our recent two-week Swiss Pairs competition. With four wins a draw and a loss, they held 1st position consistently throughout the six rounds – a well-deserved victory. Well done also to 2nd place-getters Marie Schutte & Megan Watson, and 3rd, Teresa Siminska and Alison McGregor.

Please make a date to come and enjoy our Christmas party and Prize Presentations for the year.

Start time is 11.30am on Monday 11 December.

Everyone should bring a plate of finger food to share.  The Club will provide red/white wine, orange juice and mineral water.

We will play a game at approximately 1pm.  Please register with your partner in the usual fashion.

Hope to see you there with your party hat!

Congratulations to the winners of the October High Low game.

N/S - Les Marks & Bill Goodwin

E/W - Fran Carroll & Jenny Turville

With apologies for this late publication, congratulations to the winners of our 2-day Memorial Pairs Championship held in September: N/S - Terry Bodycote & Sue Eishauer and E/W - Marie Schutte & Maree Brady (pictured). Well done also to other placegetters: Fran & Wayne Carroll and Jeanette Rayward & Ray Pierce.

It's lovely to see some winners who are not always at the top of the ladder!

Congratulations go to local team Margaret Boniface, Megan Grant, Barbara Williams and Judy Scott (pictured) for qualifying to play in the Grand National Open Teams (GNOT) finals in December 2023 in Brisbane. The team placed 2nd in last weekend's 2-day regional final at Port Macquarie. Special mention also goes to the other Great Lakes team who placed 4th: Henry Hudson, Bronwyn Boehm, Sue Eishauer, Terry Bodycote, and Jill & Karl Buchmann. Well done all!

Congratulations to our recently promoted members listed below. For information about ABF ranks, click here. Also, congratulations to our club’s top 50 most improved players (as at 30-Sep-23).

In a hard-fought battle, our recent Labour Day Pairs event saw some surprising but well-deserved winners. Congratulations on their respective wins go to N/S pair Nigel Savory and Daphne Yarnold (the only N/S pair that bid and made a hearts slam on Board 25). And to E/W pair Rhonda Wright and Eta Rogoyska. It’s wonderful to see such a mixed field and a healthy number of competitors at our events again. Well done all.

Sadly, we farewell a much loved and respected member of our bridge community: Stewart Barnsley passed away late August 2023, aged 94 years.
